MorphOS: Sound Exchange ("SoX") 12.17 (noixemul)
SoX (also known as Sound eXchange) is a commandline tool which translates sound files between different file formats, and optionally applies various sound effects.
SoX is intended as the Swiss Army knife of sound processing tools. It doesn't do anything very well, but sooner or later it comes in very handy.
The no-ixemul MorphOS version was build against libmad and libmp3lame and comes therefore with mp3 support. Following formats are supported:
aiff, auto, avr, cdr, cvs, dat, vms, gsm, hcom, maud, mp3, nul, prc, raw, sb, sf, sl, smp, sndt, sph, 8svx, sw, txw, voc, wav, wve and a few more.

MorphOS: ShapeShow 1.0 released (update)
The fun program ShapeShow (24 KB) creates moveable windows out of graphics that can be round, with a hole or of another shape. The current version 1.0 still runs not stable, though (memory fragmentation, etc.) and can therefore lead to a crash!
Update (17-Apr-04, cr):
The author points in the comments out that there are only problems if you're using hacks like SmartWin.
